Auction result well in line with expectations
The work 10 Photographs, 1940-1972 by Josef Sudek was auctioned at Christies in New York in April this year. The price achieved of USD 5,040.00 (€ 4,565.22) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as USD 4,000.00 – 6,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Josef Sudek achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Sans Titre (Étude De Nature-Morte), 1952 in November 2010 with an auction result of EUR 300,750.00.
Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen
Die Arbeit 10 Photographs, 1940-1972 von Josef Sudek kam im April diesen Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Der dabei erzielte Preis von USD 5.040,00 (€ 4.565,22) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit USD 4.000,00 – 6.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Josef Sudek erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Sans Titre (Étude De Nature-Morte), 1952 im November 2010 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von EUR 300.750,00.
